    If you can go on a weekday between opening and 3 or 4 pm, then you'll avoid the lines. Come with a plan to minimize wandering. The website is your friend.

    It's my favorite place! You find such good deals! Just watch what you buy because something's are a better quality then others. I've always shopped carefully and my stuff has lasted me years and years

    Get the ikea shopping app. You can skip the showroom and find all the locations of your flat pack items before you get to the store!

    We love picking out furniture and other household items we need. Sometimes they have a special where your receipt from the food court will be taken off your in-store purchases.

    Its fun to check out all of the living space set ups they have. The food is good here too. You can eat and watch the airplanes take off and land across the turnpike at Newark Airport.

    IKEA is where relationships go to die. That being said, this place is humongous (even by Ikea's standards), has a plethora of guilt inducing snacks and was NOT crowded on a Sat late afternoon. :-)

    Ikea is one of the most efficient and organized stores around. If you don't mind building your own furniture, you really can't go wrong.

    this place is getting better and better. Affordable while stylish. Their product is getting more rigid also.

    Looking to furnish your home, IKEA has everything you will ever need! I suggest going during the week, as the weekends are usually crowded and rushed.

    Great furniture at a great value. My only thing is that kids use this place as a jungle gym.

    I have never seen so many out of control children in one spot in my whole life. Also merchandise is difficult to find w/o walking though the whole store. Obvious marketing tactic.

    These guys for everything they can to prevent you from calling directly the 908 number below and getting real help. Keep hitting "0" and you will eventually get through!

    IKEA has so many different things for your home and the prices are not that bad depending on what your looking for.

    Ikea is like Ikea. Looks the same everywhere. But this one is definitely cleaner, nicer and less crowded than the one in Brooklyn.

    If you can, go on a weekday to avoid the weekend madhouse.

    If you can't fit everything you bought in one trip, you can leave the excess merchandise in one of their huge lockers for $0.25 until closing time.

    Sunday before 11am was not bad at all! After that tho, oh my god I feel like Simba in the wildebeest stampede. Go early!

    Although it's in Elizabeth, NJ, there is a free shuttle bus on weekends from the Port Authority Bus Station.

    Stay away from this store. The only reason I went was because Paramus was closed but never again. I never had a bad experience with ikea until I went to this store. Customer service is horrible.

    Home delivery line takes forever. There's only 1-2 employees manning it whether it's a weekday or weekend. Prepare to stand on line for at least 30 minutes!

    Stop by the cafeteria if you have a chance. They recently dropped their price for the Swedish meatball plate from $3.99 to $2.99. Read more

    Two smoke breaks, waited in line for food, ate the food, and used the bathroom before my Full Serve headrest was ready for pick up. I didn't mind the wait, might not be the same for everyone else.

    If you are only buying accessories, don't go to the showroom, enter through the exit near the loading dock.

    Soft drinks have absolutely NO carbonation! I asked if they could change the canister and they said no - it's a known problem with their setup. Enjoy drinking syrup water :-(

    How do you not love Ikea. I just hate you have to walk through a full maze of the store to get out.

    Make sure your box is not damaged. If it is, there's a high likelihood that the furniture inside is damaged. Save yourself a trip back to the returns section with it's long wait times.
